The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is an abomination and an affront to the Constitution. I truly believe that if it were to be implemented it would be the final straw that tears this country apart. > While the phrase “Electoral College” does not appear in the U.S. Constitution, Article II requires the states to provide electors to equal the number of their representatives and senators in Congress who will then cast ballots for the president and vice president. While they ordinarily all vote for whichever candidate wins the popular vote in their states, they do have the freedom to vote based on their own discretion. But the key here is that the constitutional process for electing presidents absolutely is not direct popular vote, and demands the mediatory step of electors. Therefore, I argue the multi-state compact is anti-constitutional and cannot be allowed. Amen!
